Vol.3 will be the longest film in the franchise – Guardians of the Galaxy
As you might expect, director James Gunn has confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be longer than Marvel’s previous two installments.
After their pointless antics in the last Thor: Love and Thunder, the Guardians of the Galaxy will return at the end of the year for a special episode on Disney + before returning to the poster one last time in a third installment which promises to be particularly busy. Between the expected reunion between Star Lord (Chris Pratt) and Gamorra (Zoe Saldana), the introduction of Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), the confrontation against the Master of Evolution played by Chukwudi Iwuji and the probable dissolution of the ‘crew, it was almost certain that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 would be longer than the other two movies in the trilogy and even most of the Expanded Universe feature films.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporterthe director and screenwriter James Gunn has confirmed that the next adventures of the band will stretch further: “It’s a much bigger movie than the other two and a lot more emotional. It is also a longer film than the other two. It’s bigger in every way.“
The exact duration has not been specified, but it will exceed 2h17 Guardians 2. The film will then be longer than the previous ones Thor 4 (1h59), Doctor Strange 2 (2h06), Shang Chi (2h12) and Black Widow (2h14). If it should logically be closer to almost 2h30 of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Captain America: Civil Warwe do not yet know if it will be longer than The Eternals Where Infinity Wars (2h37 and 2h36).
With three o’clock on the clock, Avengers: Endgame is meanwhile guaranteed to remain the most extended universe movie for quite a while to come, even if the Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars planned for 2025 could break the record. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released in France at the cinema on May 3, 2023, the next MCU release being Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on November 9, 2022.
